Description:

Key Message:University Calculus: Alternate Editionanswers the demand for a more streamlined, less expensive version of the highly acclaimedThomas Calculus, Eleventh Edition.nbsp; The text retains the same quality and quantity of exercises as the eleventh edition while using a faster-paced presentation. This text focuses on the thinking behind calculus and uses the same precise, accurate exposition for which the Thomas series is well known. The elegant art program helps todayrsquo;s readers visualize important concepts. Key Topics: Functions; Limits and Continuity; Differentiation; Applications of Derivatives; Integration; Applications of Definite Integrals; Transcendental Functions;…
